Thar Driver Arrested, SUV Seized During the probe, it was revealed that the vehicle is registered to a Bengaluru-based private company and had been leased to Sagar Saha, who was seated in the front passenger seat at the time of the accident.

A kind passerby had witnessed the accident. He even sent the location where he saw the Thar…He then called the PCR. We received the call from the office colleague around 7.30 or 7.45 AM, informing us that Sarthak had met with an accident," the grieving father told ANI. “By the time we reached the Spinal Injuries Hospital, he was gone.
